I had the opportunity to see the workshop of this play at the Kennedy Center, and it was fantastic! Poignant, timely, and authentic.

The more I found out about the friendship between Malcolm and Bex, the more I wanted to be a third wheel to them. This play gave me so many moments to experience the racial tensions of America in ways that I hadn't previously considered and for that I'm grateful to Cary. A beautiful piece of writing weaved skillfully, with humor and heart.

I'm a wild proponent of oddball pairings, and the two main characters here are a dream for that quirky, raw, intensely personal but occasionally tumultuous connection that can happen between people - especially those who are personally going through intense transformation and struggle. How can we be there for someone else without a strong foundation of our own? How can we compassionately be present for another when we are demanding (and needing) the same understanding? Very topical and 'of the times' while also an intimate portrayal of intimate story.
